president obama in his healthcare plan added something that was seemed fairly
uh... controversial of the time
uh... the people to have providing health care and needed to provide for
birth control at no extra cost
but you know what you mean sanctioned for churches and religious organizations
presidents against their faith in you know on a
force indicated
no extra cost
even though it really is
almost no different than our any other health care plan
but if you were uh... for example a religious organization
that's not the charges solved but i A
a catholic hospital or university any employed a lot of people who are not
coming in fact a lot of the majority probably of the employees of some of
those hospitals
are not catholic et cetera have been applied to all those institutions well
then you had the same rolled applied to you as everyone else
and it's because at
you did wonders for many years the women
that worked at those institutions where they would have to find a new plan and
they'd have to pay extra etcetera etcetera
you one of them treated like any other woman in the country to be able to have
taxes that birth control now luckily and great and overwhelming majority country
agrees with that
uh... well uh...
well what happened before store public in presidential candidates in the entire
probably party had decided
it is a good way to tackle barb
we're gonna claim that he's a religious discrimination
houck der he you know
violate the religious principles of these catholic hospitals universities et
cetera
effective on this important
they're now using a bomb a care to impose as secular vision on americans
who believe that they should not have the religious freedom taken away
and newt gingrich often talks about this as well
now
it's an absurd argument because it isn't about religious freedom is about
protecting women
in those institutions in fact all exemption
is for religious institutions for the churches synagogues has set a record
they want to do that
and go in that direction right
uh... and it doesn't really matter because a great majority of catholics
agree with the president's position on
arbitral
so what is the president dot of course
he has decided
that they need to compromise
had the white house entail panetta messaging
well are what you did you know you guys have
commented on this and i was concerned about messaging oversimplifying a
resolution that make sense in corporate joe said whatever may be
compromises that can be reached we obviously we have great great respect
for the work that these institutions do they're important elements of our of our
country they they serve many many uh... americans and we want to and we
certainly no one will bridge uh... anyone's of religious freedom so we're
gonna look for uh... away to move forward that both guarantees women
that basic preventive care that they that they need and respects uh...
respects the uh... produce of religious institution
there's one word to describe all that those words that he just throughout
there about the bach
they're going to find a compromise that respects both sides blah blah blah blah
blah
they're running they're running for those who don't want that's what the
always do
because they don't want to stand and fight
i am i say it may be as bad politics really leading disabuse you of that
notion let me give you the numbers here
now when that people were asked
all employees be required to provide their employees
with health care plans i cover contraception or birth control at no
cost
fifty five percent of all americans say yes
fifty eight percent of catholics say yes
so you've got a great majority cabins we how do you think that's a good number
when they get a lot of that stuff
more than eighty percent of adults polled said they think were controlled
should be accessible they should be dispensed by promises
without discrimination or delay eighty percent
not good enough i give you more
eighteen nine percent of catholic women support expanding access to
contraception for women who cannot afforded
eighty nine percent
but no no no you gotta run the republicans criticized you
what's your gut reaction every time run for those right
disease numbers are good enough
dragged into a portion of the population being on your side
not good enough
you want to know are what percentage of women who are sexually active in this
country use birth control
ninety nine percent
and you're gonna run from an issue
how bad a politician aren't
apathetic are you
yes at one of which and it's not about birth control the republicans friend as
a matter of religious freedom
well you know what you don't have to give n everytime you know you could
fight back
you also want to go to speaker president united states of america
at the very least you have a bully pulpit can get up and say
these people wanna limit access the birth control
that's what they want to do
now for the
young woman working at their catholic hospital might be jewish or protestant
or any other denomination or working capital gains is birth control a lack of
factors i don't want to use it
they want
make them get a whole nother possibly one of them pay extra they want to
discriminate against ninety nine percent want to use
market-opening there are there
how do i think i'd be instead of a woman in this country if the republicans
wanted the other side of it have added cost let's go to war
the president ran on that issue if he said well you know what went i'd like
your uh... the issue that you take west on the whole campaign on that issue are
from birth control you're against that having lost all you are framed as
religious freedom time contract see what happens
already there
but as always mister timid mister can't a kid any chance whatsoever mister never
seen a flight he likes never see the fighting a sore run throught
what does he do all i got my amazon women on my side
well i don't have the answer one percent i gotta run for the hills
how you get behind a guy like this man
